good morning. suicide bombers today go after a familiar target in baghdad, the same recruitment center where 48 were killed just two weeks ago. this of course comes four days now after the u.s. formally handed over military command to the iraqis. a lot of people are asking how did iraqi security forces perform? also, censored. craigslist taking down its adult

services section after criticism from the cnn center, this is "cnn sunday morning." it is 6:00 a.m. where i sit in atlanta, georgia, 1:00 p.m. in baghdad, glad you could be with us. i'm t.j. holmes. we welcome troops watching on the armed forces network in iraq and afghanistan. thank you for starting your day with us. we start in iraq, security in the country has been fresh on the minds of people here in the u.s. and around the world after the u.s. formally handed command to the iraqis. suicide bombers going after a familiar target. we want to go to our arwa damon in baghdad for us. arwa, yes, of course the security has been fresh on the mind after the formal handover but truth be known iraqi forces have been in the lead of security for that country for some time in the first place but tell us why this familiar target, why this recruitment center? why has this been such a popular target for suicide attackers? >> reporter: well, t.j., this recruitment center is also the

headquarters for one of the baghdad operations command center and also at the heart of the capital. in the past there have been reports about lax or relaxed security, we saw that suicide bombing two or three weeks ago that killed 48 people that you mentioned earlier. since then the iraqi government had put its forces on high alert on august 28 saying they had uncovered evidence al qaeda and other groups were going to be carrying out attacks. it is one of the targets that tragically is very appealing to the insurgency here. three suicide bombers tried to enter the base. they were stopped by the iraqi security forces who opened fire on them, two of them did detonate, the third wounded. in total seven people were killed, at least 21 wounded but the death toll could have been much, much higher had they actually been able to enter that base, t.j. >> also something you mentioned as we were corresponding with you this morning, arwa, is that in fact maybe attacks have been

low but tension is pretty high right now in baghdad. why? >> reporter: yes, it is, t.j., because there is this sense amongst the people, amongst the iraqi security forces because of the heightened alert and significant events with the u.s. officially ending its combat mission taking place that there is a sense amongst the population that perhaps this is the lull before the storm. people are very tense, anticipating some sort of a big attack and whilst you could look at today and say this is the case of the iraqi security forces actually -- after the potential attack for the population, they're looking at cases like this and thinking to themselves that there are still suicide bombers roaming the streets and the city and country is not safe. >> we'll be checking in with arwa throughout the morning thank you so much. also checking in with arwa on another story she did talking to

the children of iraq, who have been scarred by war. you'll see that in a bit, talking with kids about their experiences during the iraq war. also over the next 90 minutes here on "cnn sunday morning" sharing a story that a lot of people just find offensive, diana, princess diana in lingerie? a chinese lingerie company, many are saying now marring the memory of the people's princess on the anniversary of her death. also, a high-tech noisemaker being used in washington to try to drive away motors but does it unfairly target young people? all those stories coming up for you here in the next 90 minutes of "cnn sunday morning." news shaking up the internet, part of a debate going on for years, craigslist and its adult services section. now, "censored" is what has replaced the adult services section, users across the country are finding the link blocked with a bar that simply

reads "censored." craigslist not explaining the move just yet saying instead they will be releasing a statement later. it could be a crucial first step in repairing its image after repeated protests that it promotes prostitution and child sex trafficking. last week attorneys general in 17 states accused craigslist of doing little to prevent that. one of them commended the move yesterday. >> craigslist either cannot or will not effectively screen out the ads and so craigslist really voluntarily did the right thing as a result of our job owning and talking to them, but i think that it can be a model for other sites that may either enable or encourage prostitution ads. >> the rebecca project, the human rights group, agreed this is a good first step. their executive director helped sound the alarm about possible child exploitation on the site

after she posted parts of an open letter from two girls allegedly trafficked through adult services ads. she talked to tom foreman last night. >> do you take this move by craigslist to be an admission of responsibility in this? >> i do. i absolutely see it as his admission that his site was hurting children, that his site was responsible for child prostitution, and sex trafficking, and that he made the correct decision, a decision to protect children and decide that no longer would he allow his site to be used for pimping and trafficking of our most vulnerable children so i do commend him in that but i ask him to go further and make sure that the value of a life of a child in india or anywhere where craigslist exists internationally, that the value of that child is as important as the value of a child here in the

u.s. who is being subject to sexual exploitation. >> you may remember cnn doing an investigation on craigslist. in fact one of our reporters, amber lyon actually caught up with the founder of craigslist, craig newmar. we'll look back at her piece. here is just an example of it. >> you guys say you screen all these ads manually. ? >> i don't know what this is. >> jim buckmaster says these are being screened, why do i have the responsibility to report this to you when it's your website? you're the one posting this online. >> and more of that coming your way in the 7:00 eastern hour, top of the hour, 7:00 eastern, 4:00 pacific. it has been a month now that those miners in chile have been trapped underground, a month now. 33 men have been trapped down there. the miners are getting words of encouragement from family members. they spoke to their loved ones

thanks to a video conference set up by the chilean government, also offering them moral support four members of uruguay's 1972 rugby team who met and consoled the miners' families. yesterday. some of the rugby team were stranded for more than 70 days. in the andes mountains when their plane crash. >> translator: we need to ensure this never happens again but it already has happened and we need to get them out. that is the most important thing. >> again, it is going to be some time, could take several more months before those miners are rescued. they have holes being drilled now, to possibly get down to those men but it's going to take a while, still good news compared to the news initially after we all first got word of the mine's collapse. >> translator: a friend phoned and said the san esteban mine

just collapsed and the miners are inside. i said what? that can't be true and i began crying. i was trying and i couldn't talk. i was just crying and crying. i said my claudio can't leave me like this. claudio has to be alive. >> translator: i was stunned by the news, but i didn't cry, not the time to cry. but my wife began to cry and i tried to calm her down. i said, take it easy. we don't know anything for sure just yet. >> translator: i felt rage and pain and frustration. i thought how can they be trapped like that? they're not animals, but here in chile, they've always treated our miners like animals.

it's horrible. i miss him so much. he always cheered us up and made us laugh. i just feel so bad. >> translator: those first days were unforgettable. it was huge uncertainty, just waiting and waiting. those were very bitter moments. i was crying day and night. i didn't want to sleep. i held out hope esteban had been outside the mine opinion when i was crying, i hoped he was going to come out and hug me and say "darling, i'm here," but the hours went by and they reported the names of the missing miners, and esteban never came.

>> translator: i felt a lot of rage and pain and i felt powerless because i knew this was an accident waiting to happen. a lot of the miners said that they had heard the mountain groaning. >> translator: i never doubted and had a lot of faith that they were alive and that they were all together and that's how they found them, all together. >> translator: we stayed calm, and then what happened happened, and then the miracle came. >> all right, well we talked about it could take months before these miners are rescued but a new drill just got on site last week just a few days ago that could possibly speed up the process but still we could be looking as late as december before the crew gets out. well, farmers out there working, working hard, they're growing the food, but doesn't really help if the food they're

businesses often blame for loitering and sometimes causing trouble. is this fair to target the kids? brian todd putting it to the test. >> reporter: this section of washington, d.c., called gallery place, is very popular among young people because of the trendy bars and restaurants like these down here but there's also been a problem with loiterers and property managers complained about that. a couple of weeks ago there was a huge street brawl that took place, we're told it started in the metro station, and kind of spilled over onto the streets. since that time, property managers around here have installed this device up on the wall, called the mosquito. it emits a high-pitched sound designed to keep loiterers away. the question is does it unfairly target young people? it can cause a high pitched headache, and that's by design. just outside the gallery place subway stop in washington, the mosquito beeps often. but is it indiscriminate? this anti-loitering device was placed here after a big street

brawl, but the property managers and the mosquito's distributor both tell cnn the noisemaker doesn't target young people. still thedistributor teenagers happen to do the most loitering and the sound is most effective for the stage of life where humans can hear the highest pitches. >> the mosquito activated emits a sound at 17.5 kilohertz, the high end of the youth hearing range, 13 to 25-year-old hearing range. when a youth hears the sound they find it extremely annoying and will leave the area in a few minutes. >> reporter: at gallery place, we saw some young people getting irritat irritated. >> can you hear it? >> probably wouldn't shop at the shops if i heard it again. >> reporter: why not? >> it's too annoying. it gave me a headache. >> reporter: there are settings on the mops key tsquito that ca heard by older age groups. i played it in our newsroom and

didn't tip them off beforehand. on settings for people 30 and younger, no one heard it. now 50 years old and under. >> ooh, i heard that. i hear that. >> i can hear that, too. still, some believe this device does target teenagers unfairly. among the community leaders who have concerns about this device, judith sandalow of the children's lost center in the gallery place. if there are problems with voice and loiterers driving away customers from the business that count on business, wouldn't anything like this help? >> i'm sympathetic to businesses needing to be able to engage the most customers in the best possible way, i'm sympathetic to that. this isn't the best solution. we need to have better programs for youth, we need to engage them in activities. >> believe it or not young people have used this device to their advantage. we're told by the distributor

that high pitched noise this thing makes made its way on to the internet. he says young people have been able to download that sound onto their cell phones as ring tones so that when their cell phones ring, they can hear the sound but their parents and their teachers cannot. brian todd, cnn, washington. >> smart kids! aren't they? they figured this thing out already. we should make that maybe a question this morning. if you could use a sound to get rid of a particular group around you, what would that group be? if you could use a sound that would just make certain group that's bothering you scatter, what would it be? >> what sound would you use? >> no, if you could target one particular group to get rid of them with some kind of high pitched sound what group would you want to get away from you? >> fans of the university of alabama. >> oh, wow. that's pretty good. >> first one up there. probably use i don't know maybe yoko ono's greatest hits, just throwing it out there, i don't know. >> send us some response to that, folks.

you know where to find us, t.j. holmes cnn on twitter and facebook. are you on twiter? >> reynoldswolf@cnn.com -- no, reynoldswolf@cnn. >> want to give out your phone number while you're at it in. >> might sbl. >> let us know if you can make some particular groups scatter with a high pitched noise what group would you try to get rid of? let us know. we'll hopefully share some of those in a bit. coming up here an ad campaign going on in china raising eyebrows, and some accusations of exploiting a dead princess. we'll show you the lady diana pictures sparking outrage in britain. our editorial producer, nadya bilchik checking in with us.

five minutes to the top of the hour now. last tuesday marked 13 years since princess diana's death. she was killed in a car accident in paris, as you know. britains were leaving bouquets outside the kensington palace. in china they were using the likeness of lady di to help sell lingerie. the story in the global spotlight for our editorial producer nadya bilchik here with me once again. i imagine folks in britain did not take kindly? >> did not take kindly. nicholas davies said this is appalling and of course he said this is "totally appalling" what's going on. here you have this campaign, there's princess diana in a bra and panties or the british call knickers and a cello and the bow looking down at a child,

supposedly william or harry. it's not princess diana. it is a princess diana look-alike model but caused great outrage and people are very, very furious about it because let her rest in peace. >> they knew what they were doing i assumed that the point here was to find someone and pro-to-promote this and fool people essentially into thinking this is lady di. >> well, yes and it's gelry international is t jealousy international is the name of the country. 13 years ago do you remember where you were? >> exactly where i was. >> let's talk about the woman who was an icon in her life and is certainly an icon in her death and the impact she had on people's lives, that it's 13 years later we still remember her, and what do we remember her for? for her land mine work, her philanthropy. she was one of the first who held the hands of an aids victim. she was so remarkable in that way and why did we feel for diana so much? not only was she beautiful but her husband had cheated on her,

so she was loved by so many women. one of the most fascinating things i found in my research in the british medical journal, that after her death four weeks later, these suicide rates in the uk and wales hiked by something like 17%. that's how much people feel for diana. here you have this extraordinary ad campaign, what it really shows is the global impact of diana. >> is there any possible action anyone could take against this company? >> mott posthumously. james dean or michael jackson look-alike after their death it's nothing. it's just in appalling taste so the diana fan clubs are saying this is blatant exploitation. there's no comment from the charles camp but he hasn't commented on her for years, and the campaign themselves, jealous international are saying we are honoring diana's memory by showing the kind of underwear she would wear. >> the timing as well this coming out right around the anniversary. >> and tomorrow, 13 years ago

was her funeral. they knew what they were doing, look at the world attention it's getting, victoria's secret, we're wearing jealousy international. in britain on america people would probably boycott it because it is in bad taste. >> in bad taste is all. nadia bilchik always giving us a look at something happening around the world. >> next week we don't know where, mandarin, maybe talking mandarin, going to madrid, maybe go to bombay. >> no knows. >> who knows. >> nadia bilchik always good to have you with us. thanks so much. coming up have you heard the name the walmart of the sex i have industry? we'll see why there's a "censored" sign blocking one of "censored" sign blocking one of its services. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com

adult services is enkren sored on craigslist. users finding the link blocked with a bar that says simply "censored." craigslist not explaining the move just yet, saying instead they will release a statement later. it's going to be a crucial first step in repairing its image after repeated criticism that it promotes prostitution and child sex trafficking. last week attorneys general in 17 states accused craigslist of doing little to prevent that. one of them commended this move yesterday. >> craigslist either cannot or will not effectively screen out the ads and so craigslist really voluntarily did the right thing as a result of our job owning and talking to them, but i think that it can be a model for other sites that may either enable or encourage prostitution ads. this is a story cnn has been reporting on in the past few

weeks, in tick lear amber lyon confronted the founder of craigslist. >> big things going on with craigslist right now they're saying they're monitoring all of the ads that come through on adult services to check to see if the girls are underage or young so we put some words in here, "sweet, innocent, new girl," we're going to see what happens. we'll see if craigslist will let our ad post and see what kind of calls we get. [ phone ringing ]. >> i saw your ad on craigslist. >> hello? >> yes. >> we've had 15 calls and the ad as only been up for three hours, 15 calls in three hours. craigslist says its staff manually screens all of the adult services ads and will reject any that make it look or sound like you're selling sex. when we looked through the ads most were pretty blatant. the fair fund investigates juvenile trafficking. >> most of the young people

we've worked with who have been exploited online talk about craigslist. craigslist is like the walmart of online sex trafficking. >> reporter: so we're here at george washington university and we just found out that craig newmark, founder of craigslist is going to be speaking here at a tech conference, he doesn't know we're coming. he's been media shy lately about all of these allegations against him. this guy is the craig in craigslist. it's his list. so can people trust that children are not being sex trafficked on craigslist? >> i think we explained that pretty thoroughly on our blog. >> that's where jim buckmaster says that you will immediately contact law enforcement if you suspect anything suspicious? >> yes, jim does a great job showing that we do more than anyone in this area, pretty good for a community of 50 million people. >> this is inspector brian bray with the d.c. metropolitan police department, also in charge of the prostitution enforcement unit in craigslist blog they say they'll immediately contact law enforcement any time they see a

suspicious ad. you've never been contacted by them? >> that's correct, if they're notifying i'm not sure if they're notifying the right people because we're not getting the call. >> reporter: what are you guys doing to protect these girls? you guys say in the blog that you'll remove any ad that looks like the person might be suggesting they're going to offer sex. look at this ad, it says, young, sexy, sweet and bubbly. clear here she writes $250 an hour. what is she selling in her bra and underwear, a dinner date? >> have you reported this to us? >> but you guys say you screen all of the ads manually. >> i don't know what this is. >> jim buckmaster's blog. >> you have reported this to us. >> why do i have the responsibility to report this to you when it's your website? you're the one posting this online? i just want to know, i mean --

okay. >> this is -- >> reporter: we've run into a lot of victims and a lot of advocates that pretty much call your site the walmart of child sex trafficking. in 2008 craigslist agreed to report any suspicious ads to the center for missing and exploited children, which works with police to find and rescue trafficking victims. two years and hundreds of thousands of sketchy ads later, the center says craigslist has reported fewer than 100. >> craigslist has not released an official explanation of what we're seeing on their website right now. the words "censored" in place of where the adult services section was. company representatives tell cnn they expect to send a statement out sometime this week. we want to turn back now to the story we're telling you about at the top, attacks in baghdad, insurgents going after a familiar target, the same

place where 48 people were killed in an attack just two weeks ago. we were telling you about this attack the last hour. just one person had been killed, we're getting updated numbers from iraqi officials now that seven people have been killed in this latest attack and 21 people were wounded. arwa damon is in baghdad, i talked to her last hour what we've been seeing since the formal "handover" of military command to the iraqis from the u.s. >> reporter: there is this sense amongst the people, amongst the iraqi security forces because of the heightened alert and significant events with the u.s. officially ending its combat mission taking place that there is a sense amongst the population that perhaps this is the lull before the storm. people are very tense, anticipating some sort of a big attack and whilst you could look at today and say this is the case of the iraqi security forces actually -- after the potential attack for the population, they're looking at

cases like this and thinking to themselves that there are still suicide bombers roaming the streets and the city and country are still not safe. >> seven minutes past the hour on this "cnn sunday morning." now meteorologist reynolds wolf is going to be telling you how the rest of your weekend will be. still got some holiday left in this weekend. we were worried about hurricane earl for awhile. that's not a problem now. it's all good. eight minutes past the hour. reynolds is coming up. thanks to the venture card from capital one, we get double miles on every purchase. so we earned an l.a. getaway twice as fast. we get double miles every time we use our card. no matter what we're buying. and since double miles add up quick... romans! get em!

nine past the hour. reynolds here, not talking earl necessarily. did this thing kind of clear stuff out and kind of result in some really beautiful weather? >> you could argue that this storm driving its way up to parts of the northeast and the frontal boundary made things much better, stable conditions. there's some good aspects about it. the best aspect is that it's gone. >> it's gone. >> let' show you video of what it did in nova scotia. thankfully it wasn't that bad, boats getting tossed, monster waves up and down the eastern seaboard with the system as it chugd northward. thankfully it is a dying system, no longer followed by the national hurricane center. let's show you what we've got in store for us, inner tropical

equipment, the number of trained people is increasing by a large factor, so we are getting in the game in afghanistan in a way we've not been in the past. >> reporter: waiting has been costly. in 2008, 87 u.s. troops were killed by ied attacks in afghanistan. last year it skyrocketed to 187. in just the first seven months of this year, more than 140 troops killed. lieutenant colonel raymond fang has treated hundreds of the wounded. >> as reported in the news, the amount of explosive is being increased because our protection is increased and the enemy adapts and so they make bigger bombs. >> reporter: bigger, deldlier bo deadlier bombs often with no little or metal content that can
